The manipulation of public opinion on covid has been intense & successful. Most ppl I know believe 3-6 of these. They're all lies 🧵 1. Lockdowns weakened immune systems 2. Like a cold/flu 3. Kids don't spread it 4. It's seasonal 5. Masks don't work 6. No one dies of covid now

Just how exceptionally large C0VID infection/re-infection & acute/chronic disease numbers are (still today, not just in past years) is perhaps the least discussed & appreciated part of the pandemic. Other infections are not in this ballpark.

1/ Long before the pandemic began, I found two pseudo-psychological concepts deeply concerning: first, the relentless pursuit of positivity (which, of course, morphed into toxic positivity), and, second, the pernicious twisting of self-care to become more akin to selfishness.

1/ There are many deeply tragic takeaways from this, but the one I would draw your attention to is how it perfectly illustrates a concept that underpins my work as an analyst: BBC News - Matt Hancock says UK's pandemic strategy was completely wrong bbc.co.uk/news/health-66…

Such a contrast to US headlines and articles that avoid connecting anything to covid even when painfully obvious. Study finds a 30-fold increase in the annual incidence of C. auris infections in 2021 over prior years. Surges correlated with covid surges. news-medical.net/news/20230613/…

Here’s the Chest X-Ray of a young boy suffering from a condition that is now the #1 cause of death in children and adolescents in the U.S. What’s the diagnosis?

Met a woman who seemed lovely. I introduced myself with my name. She looked uncomfortable, and I had to say it out loud a few times. Me: And you are…? Her: Oh I am Sue…MUCH easier to say and remember… [laugh] Me: Sorry I didn’t get that.. how do you spell it? I blame her for

Over 800 terrorists have pleaded guilty to crimes on J6th. Not one Democrat. Not one Atheist. Not one Muslim. Not one BLM. Not one Antifa. All of them were christian, fascist republican terrorists... 100% of them.

On the side of the road trying to get a wheelchair cab at the airport - after eight hours of filming about how taxi drivers discriminate against people. This man shouted, refused service, abused, refused to give his name. He was one of four wheelchair taxi drivers that said no.

2/ Thank you to the lovely cabbie in the turban and in the sedan who rescued us from these men. I videoed every one of them and will send them to 13 Cabs. I’ll also be lodging a DDA complaint against 13Cabs Maxi, because it’s just not good enough for this to keep happening.

3/ The irony that we spent hours swapping stories with the blind community does not escape me. And when I asked those folk what needs to change, they said that they need to individually fine the drivers. I agree. It’s awful, abusive behaviour and it’s breaking the law. 13cabs
